Cardiac Rehabilitation

Cardiac rehabilitation is for people who have had a heart attack,
stent placement, bypass surgery, valve surgery, or who have
stable angina (chest pain). The purpose of this program is to
partner with participants and their physicians to assist each
individual in achieving their health-care goals.

About the program

The program includes medically supervised, on-site exercise
sessions that are individualized and designed to gradually
increase each participant’s strength, endurance and confidence.
Most people participate in a program which consists of 24- 36

that help participants understand more about their heart
disease and the benefit of healthy lifestyle changes.
